    The not so friendly skies

    Guess who has decided to persue a private pilot license?

    I'm going to need a military type helmet, a silk scarf and a bomber jacket.

    This is going to be awesome.

    Is anyone on here other than Kabookie a pilot? Any advice? I have about 3 hours logged but they were about 11 years ago.

    Ah, another Waldo Pepper! My dad was a pilot for years. He loved it. He got too old and started having spells, so he had to quit. He offered to pay for my ground/flight stuff, but I was never interested.

    Good luck with it. It is a pretty expensive hobby.

    technically, the mile high club requires a partner. So romancing yourself up there doesnt count

    you're doing this for chicks, aren't you?

    my guess would be that killing girls in a fiery crash doesn't get you laid.
    heh.

    Re: The not so friendly skies

    Awesome! You’ll have lots of fun. My only advice is to prospective students is have the all the money it takes to complete the license available before you start. If you think a pilot’s license is expensive to get, try getting finishing one after you’ve stopped for 3-4 months to collect money. Students who have all the financing in place before the 1st lesson are more likely to finish a lot sooner and for a lot les $$$$ than those who don’t.

    Are you getting your license via Part 61 or a Part 141 certified training school? Either way, I would highly recommend the King Training Syllabus.

    dude, when I pressed "fire", I also accidentally hit the recline button on the seat too. it threw me off.

    Remember the look on Kim jong il's face. He was totally like "WTF. There are F-22 Raptors flying around. OMGWTF!!!1"

    1TC, you can't look down girls' shirts from 30k feet.


    Well, you can... it's just really unimpressive.

    220, 221, whatever it takes. I think it's Part 61, just me and an instructor at the local airport. Not an actual flight school.

    It will probably take me a long time to get my 40+ in due to my work schedule.

    and whoever said something about doing this for the chicks, did you ever see John F. Kennedy Jr.'s wife? It worked out for him and he didn't end up in a fireball...
